Jacksonville Sandalwood CB Quran Hafiz enrolls at FAU

Jacksonville Sandalwood cornerback Quran Hafiz is enrolled at Florida Atlantic for the spring semester, according to a university spokesperson.

Hafiz — a three-star prospect according to 247 Sports — signed a financial aid agreement with Indiana in December with the intent of enrolling early with the Hoosiers. Signing the financial aid agreement secures the school’s scholarship offer to the player, but the player is not obligated to attend that school.

Hafiz was also committed to Iowa State before re-opening his recruitment in mid-September. He was recruited by a number of other Power 5 schools, including Minnesota, Nebraska, Illinois and Miami.

Classes at FAU began Jan. 9.

At 6-foot-1 and 180 pounds, Hafiz has the size to play immediately for the Owls, though he is one of three cornerback commits in FAU’s class. Cardinal Gibbons’ Diashun Moss and Contra Costa College’s Rodney Washington are also part of the class.

FAU also picked up a commitment on Friday night from Jacksonville Bolles safety Ahman Ross, a one-time Miami commit. Ross is also listed as a three-star recruit by 247 Sports.

“I really appreciate everyone who has helped me throughout this recruiting process,” Ross wrote on Twitter. “Most importantly, I want to thank my mother who has sacrificed so much in her life to help me succeed, I truly appreciate it. I will be continuing my education and football career at Florida Atlantic University.”

Ross is listed at 5-foot-11 and 195 pounds and had six interceptions last season.

All eight defensive backs listed on FAU’s two-deep depth chart at the end of last season return for 2017, including standouts Jalen Young and Raekwon Williams.

The Owls have 13 players in the 2017 recruiting class, which ranks sixth in Conference USA, according to 247.
